Tbe Place. of Abraham Lincoln In History, Tbe Atlantic for Juoe baa a very able arti cle by tbe celebrated historian Bancroft, uoikr the above tillo. It is too long for our columns, bat we copy the conclusion of it : ' The position of Abraham Lincoln, on the day of his inietigarntion, war apparently one of helpless debility. A bark canoe in a tempest ou mid-ocenn reemed hardly legs safe. The vital tradition of the country on slavery no lonircr had its udcauate expression iu eith er of the two great political parties, and the Supreme Court bu I uprooted the old landmarks and guides. The men who bad choien him President did not constitute a consolidated party, and did not profess to represent either of the historic parties whlcb had been engaged in the struggles of three quarters of a century , i They were a heterogeneous body of men, of tbe most various political attachments in former years, and on, many questions of economy of the most discordant-opibion.. Scarcely knowing' each other, they did not form a numerical majority of the wbole country, were in a minority in each branch of Congress except from tho wilful absence of members, and they could not be sure of their own continuance as an organized body.' .They did not know their own position, and were startled by the consequences of their success. The new President himself was, according to his1 own description, a man of defective education, a lawyer by profession, knowing oothing of administration beyond having been master of a very small postoffice, knowing nothing of war but as a captain of volunteers in a raid acainst an Indian chief, repeatedly a member of the Illinois Legislature, once a member of Congro8. He ipoke with ease and clearness, bnt not With eloquence.ti:.IIe wrote concisely and to tbe point, but was unskilled iu the use of the pen. Ho had no accurate knowledgo of the public defences of the country, no exact conception of it foreign relations, no comprehend ve .perception of hia duties. . The qualities of biV Datura were not suited to hardy actioo. His tempor was soft nnd' gentle and yielding , reluctnat td refuse anything that presented itself to bin as an act of kindness ; loving to please and willing to confide; not trained to confine acts of good will within tbe stern limits of duty. - He waa of tbe temperament called melancholic, .scarcely concealed by an exterior of lightnesss of humor, having a deep.and fixed wriousueEf, jesting lips,' and wauness of heart. And this man was gammoned to stand np directly against a power with which Henry Clay bad never directly grappled, before which Webster at last had quailed, which no President bad offended and yet gucoWsfully administered the Government,, to rvhich.cach crea,t political party bad made concessions, to which in various menu? ures'Of compromise the country badjepeated ly capitulated, gild with which ho must now Venture a struggle for the life or death of th nation. ., . " ' t"i j ' The Credit of the country bad. not fully recovered front lbs shock it bad treacherously received in tbe former administration.' A port of hft navy yard, were entrusted to incompetent sgeuts or enemies, ' T()0 social spirit o the citv of Washiucton was acainst bin), am spies api pnemics abouuded in the circles pf fashion. Every executive department swarmed with men pf (reasonable inclination! so that it w" qocertain w beret to Irest fop support. Th arm officers bad been truiued in unsound politiiial priuciples. Tho chief of staff of the highest of the general officers, wesring tb mask of loqlty, was a traitor at heart : Tbe couutry was, jngeucroos towards the bfgro, who m truth nut if, ibo Jeast o blarr-- was Impatient that inch a strife should bave grown out of his condition, and wished that, he were far away. On the side or prompt decision the advantage was with tho rebels the President songht bow to avoid war without compromising his duty.; and tbe rebels, who knew their own purpose, won incalculable ad-vantages by the start which they thus gainod. The country stood aghast, and would not be liove in tbe full extent of the conspiracy to shatter it in niecaa t men were uncertain if there would be an uprising of the people. Tbe Presidsut end bis Uabinet were in too midst of an enemy's country and iu personal danger, and at one time their connections with the North and West were cut off : and that very moment was chosen by the trusted chief of staff of the Licatenant-Ueueral to go over to the enemy. ' . , . Every olq remembers how . this state of suspense was terminated by tbe uprising or a people who now showed strength and virtues wbicn they were haruiy conscious or possession. :..'...'. .'-. . '.:.! ;,i ; ' j . In some respects Abraham Lincoln was peculiarly, fitted for bis task, in connection with the movement of Ms countrymen. He was of tbe Northwest ; and this timo it was the. Mississippi River, the needed outlet for the wealth of the Northwest, that did its part in asserting the necessity of Union. Ue was one of the mass of the people ; be represented them, because be was of thorn : and the moss of tbe people, the class that live and thrives by self-imposod labor, foil that tbe work which was to be done was a work of their own : the assertion of equality against the pride of oli garchy ; of free labor against the lordship over aluves ; of the great Industrial people ! . n 1 1 . : - - . - r I " u ngnnisi uu iuu uxpinug unsiucmcics ui wuiuu ny remnants had tided dawn from tbe Middle Age. He was of a religious turn of mind, without superstition : and tbe unbroken faith of tbe mass was like bis own. . Aa he went along through his difficult journey, sounding hia way, he held fast by tbe hand of tbe people, and "tracked its footsteps witheveu feet." "His pulse's beat twinned with their pulses." Ho comm.t ed faults ; bat the people were resolutely generous, magnanimous, ujd forgiving ; and be in torn was willing to take instructions from their wisdom. j Tho measure by whicD Abraham Lincoln takes hia place, not in American history only, but in universal history, is bia Proclamation of January 1, 18C3, emancipating all sluves within tbe insurgent States. It was, indeed, a military necessity, and it decided the result of tho war. It' took from the public enemy one or two millions of bondmen, and placed between oue and two hundred thousand brave and gallant troops io arms on the aide of the Uuion. A great deal has been said in time past of tbe wonderful results of the toil of the enslaved negro iu the creation of wealth by the culture of cotton i and now it is io part to the aid of the negro ic freedom that the country owes its success in its movement of regeneration, that the world 6f .mankind owes tho continuance of tha United States as the example of a Republic. The death of President Liucola sets the soul to that Proclamation, which must bo maintained. It cannot but be maintaiued. It is. the only vriid that can safely carry off the thunderbolt. . He came to it perhaps reluctantly; he was brought to adopt it, na it were, against bis will, but compelled by inevitable uecossity. Ho disclaimed all praise for the act, saying reverently, after it bad succeeded, "The nation's condition God alone can claim" And what a futurity is opened biforo tho couutry when its institutions become homogeneous 1 From all tho civilized - world the nations will send hosts to. share the wealth and glory of this people. It will receive all good ideas from abroad ; and ils great principles of personal equality and freedom free, dom of conscience and mind, freedom of speech and action, frcodom of government through ever renewed common couseut will undulate through the world like the rays of light and beat from tbe sun. With one wing touching tbe waters of the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific, it will grow into a great ness ol which tbe past bos no parallel ; and there can be no spot in Europe or in Asia so remoto or sj secluded as to shut out its influence, ; ' i ,, ' An Important Law to the Farmers or unox i-ouniy. y . : .

Mr. Buttorwortb is living there with his family in prinoely -style, having at his disposal a grandly spacious house, with commodious piazzas, fine, barns, extensive grounds, and abunduut IruiU; : Alter, reaching nis uouse and restinir, we were taken, iu a four-seated Now York road wagon behind a pair of spanking bays, up the arduous ascent where the DrinoiDnl entrance to the mines is. Wo entered a tunnel, along which we passed hundreds of feet, and then we commenced going down iuto the bowels of the mountain, pass- iug into Innumerable chambers, out of which the valuable ore bad been dug, going down, lown, down toward the infornal regions,, and exploring avenues and shaltg, and tunnels and holes, every man carrying his own candlo, till, for one, I was tired- and fully satisfied that tbe New Almadea is about the biggest hole in the ground I ever went to seo, and the most marvolously productive miao. ,. , i ; "lo me it was a great iiovoity, lor x was ignorant before of the natural state fn which quicksilver 1b found I may briefly state that tbe quicksilver is a rod mutuiic rocu, ino coi-oriug mutter of which furnished to the world tbe brilliant Dicment Vermillion. The pro cess of extracting the quicksilver from the ore is very simple and direct. 1 be ore is broken up into pieces about the sizo of on average apple, weighing a pound or two, and those pieces are throwu into furnaces, where, luder iiitense bout, tbe quicksilver in luo oro is converted into vapor, and expelled from tho nick. This vapor then passes into condensing chambers, where it forms into globules of pure quicksilver,' just as readily as water drops from condensed steum, which are conducted into .large iron pots or receivers; from which it is taken and poured into flasks and sealed un ready for market I am In formed that the mine is now producing five thousand Husks of quicksilver per mouth, worth forty dollars per flask, or two hundred thqusuud dollars per month. 1 don t Know precisely the cost of production, bat I presume fifty thousand dollars would pay all exr penses of the five thousaud flasks, leaving tbe magnificent profit of ono hundred and fifty thousand dollars per mouth. ,: . j ,, j Ohio Humor Honored..

Tbe Place. of Abraham Lincoln In History, Tbe Atlantic for Juoe baa a very able arti cle by tbe celebrated historian Bancroft, uoikr the above tillo. It is too long for our columns, bat we copy the conclusion of it : ' The position of Abraham Lincoln, on the day of his inietigarntion, war apparently one of helpless debility. A bark canoe in a tempest ou mid-ocenn reemed hardly legs safe. The vital tradition of the country on slavery no lonircr had its udcauate expression iu eith er of the two great political parties, and the Supreme Court bu I uprooted the old landmarks and guides. The men who bad choien him President did not constitute a consolidated party, and did not profess to represent either of the historic parties whlcb had been engaged in the struggles of three quarters of a century , i They were a heterogeneous body of men, of tbe most various political attachments in former years, and on, many questions of economy of the most discordant-opibion.. Scarcely knowing' each other, they did not form a numerical majority of the wbole country, were in a minority in each branch of Congress except from tho wilful absence of members, and they could not be sure of their own continuance as an organized body.' .They did not know their own position, and were startled by the consequences of their success. The new President himself was, according to his1 own description, a man of defective education, a lawyer by profession, knowing oothing of administration beyond having been master of a very small postoffice, knowing nothing of war but as a captain of volunteers in a raid acainst an Indian chief, repeatedly a member of the Illinois Legislature, once a member of Congro8. He ipoke with ease and clearness, bnt not With eloquence.ti:.IIe wrote concisely and to tbe point, but was unskilled iu the use of the pen. Ho had no accurate knowledgo of the public defences of the country, no exact conception of it foreign relations, no comprehend ve .perception of hia duties. . The qualities of biV Datura were not suited to hardy actioo. His tempor was soft nnd' gentle and yielding , reluctnat td refuse anything that presented itself to bin as an act of kindness ; loving to please and willing to confide; not trained to confine acts of good will within tbe stern limits of duty. - He waa of tbe temperament called melancholic, .scarcely concealed by an exterior of lightnesss of humor, having a deep.and fixed wriousueEf, jesting lips,' and wauness of heart. And this man was gammoned to stand np directly against a power with which Henry Clay bad never directly grappled, before which Webster at last had quailed, which no President bad offended and yet gucoWsfully administered the Government,, to rvhich.cach crea,t political party bad made concessions, to which in various menu? ures'Of compromise the country badjepeated ly capitulated, gild with which ho must now Venture a struggle for the life or death of th nation. ., . " ' t"i j ' The Credit of the country bad. not fully recovered front lbs shock it bad treacherously received in tbe former administration.' A port of hft navy yard, were entrusted to incompetent sgeuts or enemies, ' T()0 social spirit o the citv of Washiucton was acainst bin), am spies api pnemics abouuded in the circles pf fashion. Every executive department swarmed with men pf (reasonable inclination! so that it w" qocertain w beret to Irest fop support. Th arm officers bad been truiued in unsound politiiial priuciples. Tho chief of staff of the highest of the general officers, wesring tb mask of loqlty, was a traitor at heart : Tbe couutry was, jngeucroos towards the bfgro, who m truth nut if, ibo Jeast o blarr-- was Impatient that inch a strife should bave grown out of his condition, and wished that, he were far away. On the side or prompt decision the advantage was with tho rebels the President songht bow to avoid war without compromising his duty.; and tbe rebels, who knew their own purpose, won incalculable ad-vantages by the start which they thus gainod. The country stood aghast, and would not be liove in tbe full extent of the conspiracy to shatter it in niecaa t men were uncertain if there would be an uprising of the people. Tbe Presidsut end bis Uabinet were in too midst of an enemy's country and iu personal danger, and at one time their connections with the North and West were cut off : and that very moment was chosen by the trusted chief of staff of the Licatenant-Ueueral to go over to the enemy. ' . , . Every olq remembers how . this state of suspense was terminated by tbe uprising or a people who now showed strength and virtues wbicn they were haruiy conscious or possession. :..'...'. .'-. . '.:.! ;,i ; ' j . In some respects Abraham Lincoln was peculiarly, fitted for bis task, in connection with the movement of Ms countrymen. He was of tbe Northwest ; and this timo it was the. Mississippi River, the needed outlet for the wealth of the Northwest, that did its part in asserting the necessity of Union. Ue was one of the mass of the people ; be represented them, because be was of thorn : and the moss of tbe people, the class that live and thrives by self-imposod labor, foil that tbe work which was to be done was a work of their own : the assertion of equality against the pride of oli garchy ; of free labor against the lordship over aluves ; of the great Industrial people ! . n 1 1 . : - - . - r I " u ngnnisi uu iuu uxpinug unsiucmcics ui wuiuu ny remnants had tided dawn from tbe Middle Age. He was of a religious turn of mind, without superstition : and tbe unbroken faith of tbe mass was like bis own. . Aa he went along through his difficult journey, sounding hia way, he held fast by tbe hand of tbe people, and "tracked its footsteps witheveu feet." "His pulse's beat twinned with their pulses." Ho comm.t ed faults ; bat the people were resolutely generous, magnanimous, ujd forgiving ; and be in torn was willing to take instructions from their wisdom. j Tho measure by whicD Abraham Lincoln takes hia place, not in American history only, but in universal history, is bia Proclamation of January 1, 18C3, emancipating all sluves within tbe insurgent States. It was, indeed, a military necessity, and it decided the result of tho war. It' took from the public enemy one or two millions of bondmen, and placed between oue and two hundred thousand brave and gallant troops io arms on the aide of the Uuion. A great deal has been said in time past of tbe wonderful results of the toil of the enslaved negro iu the creation of wealth by the culture of cotton i and now it is io part to the aid of the negro ic freedom that the country owes its success in its movement of regeneration, that the world 6f .mankind owes tho continuance of tha United States as the example of a Republic. The death of President Liucola sets the soul to that Proclamation, which must bo maintained. It cannot but be maintaiued. It is. the only vriid that can safely carry off the thunderbolt. . He came to it perhaps reluctantly; he was brought to adopt it, na it were, against bis will, but compelled by inevitable uecossity. Ho disclaimed all praise for the act, saying reverently, after it bad succeeded, "The nation's condition God alone can claim" And what a futurity is opened biforo tho couutry when its institutions become homogeneous 1 From all tho civilized - world the nations will send hosts to. share the wealth and glory of this people. It will receive all good ideas from abroad ; and ils great principles of personal equality and freedom free, dom of conscience and mind, freedom of speech and action, frcodom of government through ever renewed common couseut will undulate through the world like the rays of light and beat from tbe sun. With one wing touching tbe waters of the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific, it will grow into a great ness ol which tbe past bos no parallel ; and there can be no spot in Europe or in Asia so remoto or sj secluded as to shut out its influence, ; ' i ,, ' An Important Law to the Farmers or unox i-ouniy. y . : .

Wo entered a tunnel, along which we passed hundreds of feet, and then we commenced going down iuto the bowels of the mountain, pass- iug into Innumerable chambers, out of which the valuable ore bad been dug, going down, lown, down toward the infornal regions,, and exploring avenues and shaltg, and tunnels and holes, every man carrying his own candlo, till, for one, I was tired- and fully satisfied that tbe New Almadea is about the biggest hole in the ground I ever went to seo, and the most marvolously productive miao. ,. , i ; "lo me it was a great iiovoity, lor x was ignorant before of the natural state fn which quicksilver 1b found I may briefly state that tbe quicksilver is a rod mutuiic rocu, ino coi-oriug mutter of which furnished to the world tbe brilliant Dicment Vermillion. The pro cess of extracting the quicksilver from the ore is very simple and direct. 1 be ore is broken up into pieces about the sizo of on average apple, weighing a pound or two, and those pieces are throwu into furnaces, where, luder iiitense bout, tbe quicksilver in luo oro is converted into vapor, and expelled from tho nick. This vapor then passes into condensing chambers, where it forms into globules of pure quicksilver,' just as readily as water drops from condensed steum, which are conducted into .large iron pots or receivers; from which it is taken and poured into flasks and sealed un ready for market I am In formed that the mine is now producing five thousand Husks of quicksilver per mouth, worth forty dollars per flask, or two hundred thqusuud dollars per month. 1 don t Know precisely the cost of production, bat I presume fifty thousand dollars would pay all exr penses of the five thousaud flasks, leaving tbe magnificent profit of ono hundred and fifty thousand dollars per mouth. ,: . j ,, j Ohio Humor Honored..
